The Marshall Academy soccer squad knocked off Strayhorn last week and fell to Heritage Academy.

Hank Owens, Kent Feathers and Chase Smith scored goals in MA’s 3-0 home win over Strayhorn Tuesday, Jan. 19.

Coach Lance McGregor said his team started sloppy.

“We really took a beating for the first 20 minutes,” he said. “They had four shots on us and we hadn’t even gotten deep into their defenders yet.”

County rivals

This would be the rubber match of the season for the two squads, Holly Springs and Potts Camp.

They had split back in November on the Hawks’ turf. The fans turn out big for all the intra-county rivalries and this one would be played to a packed house.

The tip went to the Lady Cardinals and Kenyotta Jenkins started going to the hoop early. Operating mainly from the left side, she was negating any defense by the Lady Hawks. Helped out by Samantha Stinson and Tenesha Woods, Potts Camp developed a 16-point lead at the opening quarters end at 26-10.

Byers splits with Myrtle

The last meeting between these two was on December 11, 2009, at Myrtle. The Lady Hawks played a much tougher game on their home court.

It was a close contest and maybe the H.W. Byers Lady Lions were remembering that one. After trading baskets for a couple of trips they began playing in the paint. Myrtle couldn’t combat the close-in shooting and was left behind 28-11 at the end of one.
